It’s been
12 days since I returned from the Vipassana Meditation retreat and, although I’ve
been meaning to write about my experience, I postponed it so feelings would
settle down a bit. I do not even know where to start and what to write down. What
I keep telling the people that ask me how it was is this simple sentence: “It
was a life changing, intense experience; I wish all the people could do a
10-day discourse of Vipassana.” There were bright moments and hard moments,
moments of total calmness and tranquility and moments of stress and doubts,
moments of mental clarity and moments of constant mind wandering. But all in
all, it was hard work, really hard work, that made me explore myself and
realize things about me that were hidden within and which I had to confront and
let go. When the discourse was over I felt 100 kilograms lighter. Happier, more
balanced and calmer than ever before. Almost two weeks later I still feel this
way. And I'm going back for a 3-day discourse next month.
